Stay surfaced. If it’s a small boat, use the deck gun, as torpedoes will just pass underneath it. If it’s a ship, use torpedoes aimed from the UZO (the binoculars on the bridge). If your target is escorted, turn away at flank speed as soon as your torpedoes leave the tube.
A nighttime submerged attack against an unescorted convoy is an unorthodox but potentially rewarding tactic if you attack from point-blank range.
Submerged attacks against escorted convoys aren’t recommended due to the fact that escorts can easily find you with sonar, and you can’t get away easily due to your low submerged speed.
